What are the health benefits of eating radishes?

Answer 1

Note: Even though radishes exhibit great nutritional benefits, they are not a complete food.
Radishes and their greens provide an excellent source of vitamin C. Radish leaves
contain almost six times the vitamin C content of their root and are also a good source of
calcium. Red Globes also offer a very good source of the trace mineral molybdenum
and are a good source of potassium and folic acid. Daikons also provide a very good
source of potassium and copper.

Radishes, like other member of the cruciferous family (cabbage, kale, broccoli, Brussels
sprouts), contain cancer-protective properties. Throughout history radishes have been
effective when used as a medicinal food for liver disorders. They contain a variety of
sulfur-based chemicals that increase the flow of bile. Therefore, they help to maintain a
healthy gallbladder and liver, and improve digestion. Fresh radish roots contain a large
amount of vitamin C than cooked radish roots. Radish greens, contain far more vitamin
C, calcium, and protein than the roots. References

All fruits and vegetables offer outstanding health benefits. Nutritional research shows
that each one contains its own set of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other
important nutrients. To get the maximum health benefits, experts recommend eating a
variety of fruits and vegetables along with other natural foods.
